I dunno, tell that to nfsd. ;-) I would like to edit
/etc/exports and then do a "kill -1 `cat /var/run/mountd.pid`" on it
instead of having to figure out whether it is really there (e.g. from
a script). I can't rely on /var/run/mountd.pid as it is now because
it may contain stale information. Just a matter of consistency. Then
again, I wish UNIX had some way of letting you do send message vectors
to running processes by name rather than this business of looking up
their pid and firing a signal off to it...
